Hidden Arguments: Political Ideology and Disease Prevention Policy
ISBN: 9780813513157 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this provocative book, Sylvia Tesh shows how politics masquerades as science in the debates over the causes and prevention of disease.Tesh argues that ideas about the causes of disease which dominate policy at any given time or place are rarely determined by scientific criteria alone. The more critical factors are beliefs about how much government can control industry, who should take risks when scientists are uncertain, and whether the individual or society has the ultimate responsibility for health. Tesh argues that instead of lamenting the presence of this extra-scientific reasoning, it...

ISBN: 9780813540917 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Similar to developing countries elsewhere, during the 1990s, Central American countries faced pressures to improve the performance of their health systems.
